Tudor houses:
We built some great Tudor houses on our mini hook day for the term. Then we made our own mini great fire to see how the fire spread. It was amazing to watch the fire spread. We added a gap between the houses to show why they needed to pull the houses down.

Anti-bullying week and Children in need
We celebrated both children in need and anti-bullying week in week two of this term. We learnt about bullying and thought about the theme, choose respect. Each class presented their learning in an assembly to the parents. For children in need, the children were asked to dress in yellow. We had some lovely bright children and some spotty ones too!

Hook day
We had a great time on hook day this term. Our teddies really enjoyed themselves. We made jam or marmalade sandwiches and then had a teddy bears picnic in the woodland. We learnt the story of Paddington, made some mini Paddingtons and even met him in the afternoon.

Online Safety:
In our online safety assembly, we learnt lots about our digital lives. Together we learnt some online safety rules, such as:
- be kind
- help people
- do not talk to people we do not know
- only talk to friends and family, not strangers.
Richard taught us to stop, block, tell when something happens online that makes us sad. His golden rule is to speak out and tell someone.
